It’s certainly been a busy start to the year here at Momentum South West….

Our director, Rachael Howourth, has been busy meeting new clients and delivering seminars and workshops on the subjects of Building a Sales Pipeline, Consultative Selling and the Essentials of Leadership. We’re celebrated some significant milestones with our monthly clients, which is a real joy to be part of – two clients are enjoying an all-time monthly revenue record and we’re so proud of them.

Sales growth is vital for business momentum.

So, what else has been going on?

We are delighted to have welcomed Laura Campbell to the team. Laura – we’re thrilled to have you. Laura is an expert in Operational Excellence and has a long list of career successes to her credit. Laura will be delivering workshops on how small business owners can overcome the growing pains of expansion – these will be open courses as well as tailored to individual clients.

In addition to this, Laura will also be supporting our own growth and lending a much needed hand to Sarah, our Business Manager. Both Sarah and Laura will be working closely with Rachael and our team of Partners to accelerate our growth in 2018. We’ve got lots to look forward to.
We’re really excited about kicking off our 4 month Mentoring Programme with the students of Plymouth University. Together with mentors from Babcock International, we’ll be training on great Mentorship and supporting the 1:1 programme until the celebration dinner on 9th May.

Our quarterly Partnership Event is a real milestone for us. We’re getting together to discuss the challenges that SMEs face in doing business in the South West, exploring ways we can help and drive growth for each and every one of them. Working with a network of experienced Partners means we can deliver our projects faster, in an more tailored way and of course, with bigger results for our valued clients. If you’d like to find out more about becoming a Partner, get in touch.

And there’s more….some new events are coming too.

We’ve got our usual line up of Consultative Selling and Essentials of Leadership plus numerous public speaking engagements across Devon. But we’ve added 2 really exciting and high demand topics…

“Business Gamification and How to use it to drive Employee Engagement”

and

“How to Convert the Leads who didn’t Enquire”

Employee engagement is a huge priority for most businesses, small and large. We’ll be tackling the key contributors to high engagement in a collaboration with Aptus UK and specialists in Gamification, Green Hat People.
Green Hat People, our sponsors, deliver events and conferences all over the world, showcasing the latest technology in business games. Want to know exactly what that is? Come and join us and you’ll enjoy a live demo and the chance to ‘have a go’ at gamification yourself.
Aptus UK will be sharing some insight in how vision and values at the recruitment stage is vital for attracting the best talent and how maintaining engagement across the team drives loyalty and staff retention.
Lastly, our very own Rachael Howourth will be talking about High Performance Leadership and sharing an easy, yet highly effective, leadership tool with everyone.
Every attendee will receive a 20% discount off a Business Game with Green Hat People.

“How to Convert the leads who didn’t enquire” is a 2 Hour workshop, explaining how to maximise the outcome of your customers’ journey. You are fully aware of the leads who came through to your enquiry staff, but what about those who didn’t? What about the leads who left your website and didn’t read the bits you’d hope they read? Why did they only visit one page, and why for only 12 seconds?
We’ll be demistifying Google Analytics and encouraging you to get hands-on by bringing along your laptop and building your very own dashboard – the end result should be that you’re armed with all you need to increase your lead generation. Awesome right?

So, you can probably see why it is that we’re so excited…. life at Momentum South West is not slowing down. In fact, you could say that we’re building Momentum.
